A member asked:

My dr said the im kenalog shot he gave me might affect my menstrual cycle. how long might it have this effect before my cycle returns to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Steroids/menstrual: Steroids in large doses can affect one's menstrual cycle, but often that depends on the reason for the steroid injections. If you are not on low dose OCP's, and you have skipped more than one "period", get a serum HCG test for pregnancy to be certain.
